This was such a lovely place to stay, we enjoyed every moment there. We wish we had more time. We found this accommodation had great privacy and we loved the outside areas designated for guests. It was great having the opportunity to walk in the olive groves. We loved the outdoor spa, it was so beautiful with all the lights... More

Clean and beautifully furnished rooms. Set in idyllic and relaxing surroundings. Delia was the perfect host and made our stay truly memoriable. Perfect in every way, even down to the homemade museli and yoghurt for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away from it all.

The hosts Grant and Delia went out of their way to help Kristy and myself, even to the point of driving us to the wedding we were attending nearby as the taxi company was fully booked. The room and the surroundings were lovely, and the extra little treats provided made our stay even more enjoyable. We would happily recommend to... More

We stayed here for 2 night on our way from Kauri Cliffs to Huka Lodge. It only has 2 rooms which are both spacious and have nice views. The owners are very friendly and have good suggestions how to spend a great day. Recommended!

We had a much deserved break from the kids for two nights at The Olives. Our stay was perfect in every way. The room was immaculate, with an attention to detail many 5star rooms don't have. The Mediterranean inspired courtyard was a great place to relax in the sun or enjoy a spa. The location was perfect, no more than... More

I stayed here with one of my bridesmaid the night before my recent wedding, and my new husband the night of as it was close to our wedding venue, Allely House.
